Chapter 308: Three Giants of the Demonic Path
Xia Zi's final words left Lin Chuan speechlessly laughing.
No wonder Xia Zi only shows up at the last moment to show off,
It turns out it was obvious all along; the so‑called "mysterious great power" that the world speaks of is Lin Chuan himself.
"Got it."
Lin Chuan replied.
In the previous era, the sword‑mad Wu Jiu of the Sword Path was a lone wolf; in this era, Xia Zi the Sword Immortal is no different, but strikes even less often.
Xia Zi also wants to enjoy this contest of sword‑path brilliance.
"Lin Chuan, return to the Purple Star Emperor Sect."
An Ci's voice sounded in his ear, prompting Lin Chuan to depart.
"Thank you, Daoist Master An Ci."
Lin Chuan gave his thanks and looked toward the Purple Star Emperor Sect; Sangyu, Xiao Qingmei, Jiao Jiao and Lü Ya were all waiting there, eyes eager.
Only he knows what his trump card is.
Naturally, the ladies' worries are unavoidable.
Lin Chuan glanced up at the Heavenly Dome, not too worried that the battle would tear the heavens and earth apart; the Wangxian Realm folk aren't fools.
The Azure Abyss and Golden Spirit Mountain realize that action is hopeless and will retreat soon.
If the fighting truly brings bloodshed to all living beings, they'd become eternal sinners; if later they are judged, the lineage would be annihilated.
Lin Chuan was just about to leave.
Boom!
Space trembled.
Another rotting corpse appeared before his eyes.
"Lin Chuan, do you know how hard it is to deal with a Wangxian Realm corpse?"
A horribly grating voice buzzed in Lin Chuan's ear.
The Corpse Demon Emperor returned.
"You must compensate me!"
"I don't want the method to control the Pure World White Lotus, only the method to control the Pure World Red Lotus; give it to me, and this grievance will be settled in one stroke."
"How about it?"
The Corpse Demon Emperor may have been frightened by the battle, not daring to act directly.
After all, a sword of Xia Zi the Sword Immortal still floated beside Lin Chuan.
"I, this lord, think this proposal is quite good."
Another mocking voice sounded.
Lin Chuan looked westward; another figure arrived, but it was a soul form.
"Soul Old Demon, you also want a share?"
The Corpse Demon Emperor shouted the other's title.
Lin Chuan had never heard of these Demonic Path Wangxian great names, but by sensing the aura he knew the true form of the Soul Old Demon was also a Wangxian Realm.
"Are the great powers of the Demonic Path each so petty?"
The Corpse Demon Emperor only sends corpse puppets, while the Soul Old Demon specializes in manipulating souls; neither reveals their true bodies.
That thought just rose in Lin Chuan's mind.
A chill swept his back.
Creepy, bone‑chilling cackles echoed.
Turning his head, he saw a grotesquely ugly figure, its body fragmented, each part seeming pieced together.
"Heartless Ghost, you also came."
The Corpse Demon Emperor laughed loudly, "I didn't expect the three of us to gather here together."
"Fine then."
"With you all here, Xia Zi the Sword Immortal's sword is no longer fearsome."
Relying only on his own strength, the Corpse Demon Emperor truly fears he cannot surpass Xia Zi the Sword Immortal's blade; returning would make him a laughingstock of the Demonic Path.
Now that the three great Demonic Path Wangxian have gathered, there is nothing left to fear.
Xia Zi the Sword Immortal is indeed terrifying, but with just a single sword, he still cannot stop them.
"Kid!"
The Corpse Demon Emperor's smile turned sinister, "I'll give you one final chance: hand over the method to control the Pure World Red Lotus, and we will leave at once."
The Soul Old Demon floated mid‑air, eyes dim, "Otherwise, even Xia Zi the Sword Immortal cannot protect you."
"Is that so?"
Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, "You really are confident; just act directly. No need for all this chatter and mother‑talk; that's not the style of the Demonic Path."
Demonic Path?
Is that all?
It's not even as pure as my own wife Sangyu's red‑warm mode.
Wuxin Gui's smile is sickening, "Since you seek death wholeheartedly, we will fulfill that for you."
If Xia Zi the Sword Immortal had not displayed invincible power, slashing away a Wangxian Realm clone of the Corpse Demon Emperor with a single sword, they would have acted long ago.
After all, if such power is taken seriously, it could truly locate their true bodies.
The Demon Abyss and Blood-Painted Star Domain are a carnival for Demonic Path cultivators, but that doesn't mean no one dares to enter.
A being like Xia Zi the Sword Immortal can block a god to kill a god, a Buddha to kill a Buddha.
If you really want to kill…
Perhaps it would be like the Strongest Heavenly Demon of old, wiping out the entire Demon Realm outright.
"Opportunity not to be missed!"
"Go for it."
Weighing the pros and cons, the three great demon lords of the Wangxian Realm still acted.
Corpse Demon Emperor, Soul Elder Demon, Heartless Ghost.
All three are merely clones; they might not be able to defeat any single Wangxian Realm, but they are certainly not a match for those under Wangxian.
"Damned Demon Cultivator!"
An Ci's eyes turned blood‑red.
No matter how many calculations I made, I didn't expect the three great demon lords to intervene.
"It seems this must end here."
In the distance, the watching cultivators couldn't help but sigh.
Even Qiu Fuzi and Qin Zhan were unwilling to act; once they did, they would offend the four great super powers of Azure Abyss, Golden Spirit Mountain, Wu Clan, and Wind and Frost Pavilion.
This deal is far from worth it.
By this point in the great battle, the Wangxian great beings across heaven and earth had basically all arrived.
Except for those self‑proclaimed sleeping living fossils, they didn't think any other Wangxian great being would step in to help Lin Chuan.
"Both of you, prepare, prepare."
Wang Chonghuan of the Lonely Lamp Sword Sect spoke, "I've messaged Qian Thirteen; he will try his best to deduce the true bodies' locations of the three great demon lords."
"Once the demon lords obtain the means to control the Pure World Twin Lotuses, we should act as well."
"If such an item falls into the demon lords' hands, the consequences are unimaginable."
Retrieving it and having the Eleven Great Super Powers jointly oversee it is the best choice.
Their inaction doesn't mean they aren't eager.
In their subconscious, such a method is too dangerous and shouldn't be controlled by a mysterious genius like Lin Chuan.
Of course, if Lin Chuan's side wins.
Then they will extinguish that thought, act as if nothing happened, and no blame can be placed on them.
The situation between heaven and earth grows increasingly tense.
The three major camps have differing intentions.
Not a single oil‑saving lamp.
The three great demon lords of the Demon Path charged at Lin Chuan.
Buzz!
The long sword guarding his side rang out, as if it had a spirit; sword light fluttered, briefly blocking the three great demon lords of the Demon Path.
"Truly hard to deal with."
The Corpse Demon Emperor said gloomily, "Even a single sword has such power; when he becomes an Immortal, I'm afraid one sword could annihilate the entire Demon Path."
He truly feared.
But at this moment, there is no retreat.
The enmity is sealed.
His choice is to devour Lin Chuan, become stronger; when he was at his weakest, rolling in the sea of corpses and blood, he also progressed step by step.
Heartless Ghost laughed, "I'll bring down this sword."
We must act seriously now.
In the next moment, Heartless Ghost's visage became extremely ferocious, fangs bared, mouth gaping like a blood‑filled basin, and he fiercely bit onto the blade.
Among the three great demon lords, his strength is undoubtedly the strongest.
His true body's power is not strong, just a demon heart; rather, the patchwork of his many clones is more formidable.
That is why he is called 'Heartless Ghost'.
Heartless Ghost suppressed a sword.
The Corpse Demon Emperor and Soul Elder Demon seized the chance, broke through the seal, and in an instant killed into the black spirit sea swirling around Lin Chuan.
"This time!"
"Who else can save you?!"
